Li Zhentai died anyway, from hemorrhagic shock caused by the gunshot wound.
He might still be breathing when the police arrived, but he didn't survive the process of being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
The real cause of his death was not announced to the public, and the media were suppressed by the Li family and did not report on Li Zhentai, so everyone thought he had been kidnapped. There are some other speculations about the cause of his death, but they have not been put on the surface.
Everyone felt that the Li family had a bad year, the youngest son was robbed and killed, and now it was the eldest son's turn to be kidnapped and tear up.
When Li Jianglin heard the news, he sat on the bed and said, "You have to blame yourself." But after that, he kept his eyes closed, looking haggard.
The Li family held a funeral ceremony for Li Zhentai, which was organized by Li Zhenran.
In the funeral home, a large black and white photo of Li Zhentai was hung on the wall, with elegiac couplets on the left and right, and a crystal coffin in the middle.
The person is dead and has not been tried, so Li Zhentai doesn't need to be called a criminal. Li Zhenruo was wearing a black suit, sitting in the distance looking at Li Zhentai's body, seeing the guests who came to mourn him bowing and burning paper, thinking how these people would know, if Li Zhentai didn't want to kill his biological parents, how could he die? His life probably wasn't enough to atone for the sins he had committed.
Li Jianglin did not show up because of his poor health. Apart from Li Zhenran and Li Zhenzi, Wen Chun, who hurried back from abroad, was the family member who answered the gift.
After all, Wen Chun and Li Zhentai are still husband and wife, standing aside in sackcloth and filial piety, but there is not much sadness on their faces.
On the day Wen Chun rushed back, she sat beside Li Jianglin's bed, and Li Jianglin said to her, "I'm sorry, but my unnecessary persistence hurt you. Now that no one is here, you can live your life well."
Wen Chun didn't say anything, just nodded reassuringly.
Li Zhenran walked up to Li Zhenruo and handed him a bottle of water, "If you don't want to stay here, go back first."
Li Zhenruo took the water, unscrewed the lid and took a sip, "I'm fine." He screwed the lid on and said at the same time, "It's good that Li Zhentai just died like this."
He didn't want to kill Li Zhentai himself, nor did he want Li Zhenran to do it.
At this time, they saw Li Zhentai's biological parents.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Li Zhenruo felt that the old lady's hair was still gray when she saw the old lady last time, but now it's all white.
A security guard stopped them and asked their identities.
Li Zhenran went over to let the security go, and invited them in. After going through that kind of thing, the husband and wife no longer insisted on recognizing the son. They just came to burn two pieces of paper money and left with each other's arms.
Looking at their backs, Li Zhenruo suddenly felt a little dazed, as if everything was over, and it didn't seem to be.
There were still guests coming here, and Li Zhenran couldn't get away for a while.
Li Zhenruo left the funeral home alone, and when she walked to the side of the road to take a taxi, the phone in her pocket rang.
The number of times he used this mobile phone can be counted on the fingers, as long as it is inconvenient to carry on the body, and he has not yet been able to conjure a mobile phone out of thin air, so there are very few people who can call his number.
Li Zhenruo glanced at the caller ID, and the name showed that it was Yan Xiujie.
For this former assistant, Li Zhenruo has always kept in touch with him. After hearing Li Zhentai mention the person named Sun He, Li Zhenruo thought about it for a long time, and planned to ask Yan Xiujie to help him find out who else worked under Luo Yunguang in the past besides Sun He.
He asked Yan Xiujie to try to start with the company's old files. Luo Yunguang is Yunlin's employee, and the people working under him are probably also under Yunlin's name and receive Yunlin's salary. Although what they did was not necessarily related to Yunlin's business, it was more likely to be Li Jianglin's personal affairs.
However, the results of Yan Xiujie's investigation went more smoothly than he had imagined.
When the phone was connected, Yan Xiujie told him that there was indeed a person named Sun He in the company's old personnel file, who was in the logistics department at that time, and there were two men at about the same time as Sun He, one named Wang Dong and the other named Kong Yuxia.
No one knows where Sun He is now, but Yan Xiujie found out his current address through Wang Dong's address registered in the old file.
Li Zhenruo said, "Give me his address."
Yan Xiujie responded, "Okay, I'll send it to your phone."
After hanging up the phone, Li Zhenruo took a deep breath. He stood by the side of the road without moving, but waited for Yan Xiujie's text message.
Soon, the phone received an address from Yan Xiujie, including Wang Dong's phone number and address.
In fact, compared to this Wang Dong, Li Zhenruo wanted to find Luo Yunguang more at first.
But recalling Luo Yunguang's sincere attitude when he said those words to Li Zhenran before, Li Zhenruo is still not sure which of his words are true and which are false. He was afraid that his thinking would be disturbed by Luo Yunguang again, so he would rather not see Luo Yunguang.
Li Zhenruo waved for a taxi and asked the driver to take him to Wang Dong's current address.
That address was in a neighborhood in the city center. The house was a bit old but not broken, and the housing prices nearby were not cheap.
Li Zhenruo got out of the car and gave the money, walked into Wang Dong's apartment, stepped into the door of the apartment building, and changed his clothes as he went upstairs slowly.
He changed into a shirt and suit with a tie, and his hair was pulled up to make him look more mature.
Standing in front of the door number shown on the address, Li Zhenruo gently knocked on the door.
He heard footsteps coming from inside, and after ten seconds, a middle-aged woman opened the door from inside and looked at him warily: "Who are you looking for?"
Li Zhenruo asked politely, "Is Mr. Wang Dong there?"
The woman hesitated for a second, turned her head and shouted to the inside: "Wang Dong, someone is looking for you!"
Soon, Li Zhenruo saw a short, bald middle-aged man coming out of the inner room. He looked Li Zhenruo up and down, "Who are you?"
Li Zhenruo smiled, "Mr. Luo asked me to visit you."
Wang Dong's expression became surprised, "You—"
Li Zhenruo said, "Can I go in and talk?"
Wang Dong hurriedly said, "Oh, come in and sit down."
He invited Li Zhenruo in, let him sit on the sofa, picked up the cigarette case from the coffee table, took out a cigarette and handed it to him, but he didn't remember to ask his wife to make him tea.
Wang Dong's wife went to the kitchen.
Li Zhenruo declined his cigarette and said, "No need, I don't smoke."
Wang Dong then lit one for himself, smoked twice nervously, and asked, "Brother Guang told you to come and find me?"
Li Zhenruo nodded and said: "Brother Dong, don't be nervous. Mr. Luo said that I haven't seen you for many years. He should have come to see him in person, but Mr. Li is not in good health recently, so he has to stay with Mr. Li to take care of him." .”
Wang Dong was taken aback when he heard the words, "Has he gone back to Mr. Li?"
Li Zhenruo smiled and said: "Yes, Mr. Luo has worked for Mr. Li for so many years, and Mr. Li is also a person who misses old love. When he was in poor health in the past two months, he sent someone to invite Mr. Luo."
Wang Dong smoked heavily, "I don't know what Brother Guang asked you to do with me?"
Li Zhenruo said: "Something happened to the Li family recently, Brother Dong must have heard about it, right?"
Wang Dong subconsciously glanced in the direction of the kitchen. His wife was concentrating on preparing dinner, and then said: "I know that the young master of the Li family is dead, and the young master of the Li family died last year."
Li Zhenruo sighed and nodded, "Does Brother Dong know that this matter is actually related to Sun He?"
"Sun He?" Wang Dong looked a little surprised.
Li Zhenruo took out his mobile phone and showed Wang Dong the above photo of his biological parents. He said, "I wonder if Brother Dong has any impression of this photo?"
Wang Dong's face became weird, but he didn't answer Li Zhenruo's words.
Li Zhenruo could tell that Wang Dong was actually an honest man, and his reaction clearly told Li Zhenruo one thing, he knew this photo, that is to say, he knew what happened back then.
So Li Zhenruo lowered his voice and said, "Brother Dong, don't be nervous. Since Mr. Luo asked me to come to you, I naturally knew about those things back then."
Wang Dong looked at him.
Li Zhenruo said: "This is a photo of Zhao Yuqiong and her boyfriend, right? Do you know where the photo is now?"
Wang Dong hesitated for a long time, he said: "This photo should be at Sun He's place."
Li Zhenruo looked at him, "Why are you at Sun He's place?"
Wang Dong's expression was tangled, and he was silent for a while and said: "That Miss Zhao Yuqiong passed away, we went to clean up her house."
"You and Sun He and Kong Yuxia, right?"
Hearing that Li Zhenruo even mentioned Kong Yuxia's name, Wang Dong believed him even more, and said, "Sun He has always liked that Miss Zhao, and I stopped him when he wanted to take this photo. But he won't listen."
Li Zhenruo said, "You didn't tell Mr. Luo afterwards, did you?"
Wang Dong suddenly became nervous again, "I didn't do it on purpose, I just—"
"It's okay," Li Zhenruo smiled gently, "It's been so many years, Mr. Luo knows everyone well, and he didn't ask me to question you about it."
Wang Dong nodded stiffly.
Li Zhenruo went on to say, "Just did you know that Sun He later gave this photo to Mr. Li."
Wang Dong looked up in astonishment.
Li Zhenruo looked serious, "Mr. Luo said, no matter what, we must find Sun He. Brother Dong, do you know Sun He's whereabouts?"
